Korean artist Jae-Hyo Lee is a master of manipulation. He turns discarded pieces of wood into attention-grabbing pieces of art that are both elegant and functional.
These incredibly sleek sculptures are the result of Jae-Hyo Lee’s meticulous work: having assembled various chunks of wood, he burns and then carefully polishes them to create visual contrast and a smooth surface.

These sensual features begin to seem invasive and frightening when stripped of their humanity and presented as inanimate objects. Take a look at some of Ronit Baranga’s sculptures below, images courtesy of the artist...

When you see the sculptures of artist James Doran-Webb, you'll first be struck by their lifelike quality and how they seem to ripple with motion. Doran-Webb's animals' anatomies are spot-on, down to each muscle, sinew, and feather. These would all be impressive enough if they were just carved wooden sculptures, but they're much more.
These sculptures are actually collections of carefully assembled driftwood, gathered by Doran-Webb from the beaches of the Philippine island of Cebu.
